Map My Day

Wheelmap,org is a crowd-sourced interactive map which shows the location of wheelchair-accessible venues around the world. Because Wheelmap.org is a community project it relies on the help of users to help collect information on wheelchair-accessible locations.

Sozialhelden e.V. and the World Health Organisation want you to help Wheelmap.org on December 3rd, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. As part of their MapMyDay campaign they want you to use Wheelmap.org to map all the public places you visit on December 3rd. Using the Wheelmap.org website or the Wheelmap.org mobile applications they want you to simply choose whether the places you visit on December 3rd are ‘fully’, ‘partially’ or ‘not wheelchair accessible’.

You can learn more about MapMyDay and how you can take part on the MapMyDay website. The site features an interesting interactive map which allows you to discover more about the campaign, how you can participate and how you can help promote the day of action.
